ABOUT
Made from four distinctive grape varieties, the Villae red wine is a differentiated lot that may be described as a “perfect marriage”.

ABOUT
Encruzado, also known as Salgueirinho, is an endemic grape variety from the Dão region. Cultivated in the sheltered highlands of Taboadella’s vineyard, in granites that have metamorphosed over hundreds of thousands of years, this lot of wines shares the special care taken with the Encruzado grape variety. The delicate cultivation of the Encruzado vines requires increased attention during the growing season, delivering tremendous rewards.
TASTING NOTES
The wine is firm and exuberant, with a silky texture, linear structure, and notable depth. It is a wine of the present and future.

TASTING NOTES
Jaen is one of the estate’s treasures, offering the delight of fruity and intense aromas, combined with allspice, placing this grape variety in another dimension. The wine’s beautiful structure, supported by soft, fine and coated tannins, is perfectly combined with its tense and delicate body.

ABOUT
Touriga Nacional is the international icon of Portuguese grape varieties. It originated in the region where it finds its greatest expression - the Dão. At Taboadella it is grown close to the ground and sparkles in the sunlight - a great example of its natural acidity in this exceptional terroir.
TASTING NOTES
This wine allows us to detect violets, whose aroma lingers in our memory. Offering surprising complexity, it carries notes of high altitude, black spice, and the quartzitic aroma of wet granite.

ABOUT
The Grande Villae red is a heritage wine, with a strong and generous personality, which reveals the riches of the Taboadella estate - which has always produced red wines with complex intensity and very elegant structure. It is also a wine of the future, that surprises us through its energy, amplified by its notable minerality and where we sense the call of the terroir with each gulp - the pure expression of granite, and the persistence and subtle elegance of the grape varieties cultivated in the highlands, which respect the memory of the land!

Dão, Portugal
Surrounded by mountains in all directions, based on very poor granite soils, the Dão region extends its vineyards scattered among pine forests at different altitudes, from 1,000 metres in the Serra da Estrela to 200 metres in the lower areas. The vineyards are sparse and discontinuous, divided into multiple plots, with properties with almost insignificant average areas. The mountains determine and condition the region's climate, sheltering the vines from the direct influence of the continental climate and the maritime influence. The poor soils are mostly granite.
